Evaluation of Optimum Space through Level of Service (LOS) in Bus Terminals
Abstract: In India, currently, there are no guidelines available for terminal design based on passenger characteristics. Since human comfort is a primary design consideration in architectural design planning, design standards for passengers must be based on a relative scale to provide the desired design environment anthropometrically. The need for this research is to help resolve the crowding problems faced by passengers due to lack of design guidelines and passenger movement & …

A Study on Sun Path of Coimbatore and Its Irradiation Effects on Buildings using Ecotect Software and Design Recommendations for Minimizing the Heat Gain
Abstract: Understanding the sun path graphically in a three-dimensional figure by means of software can help us to predict the effects of irradiation on the buildings at a specific location. The Ecotect software is a tool that gives a clear image of the movement of the sun all around the year with exact Azimuth and Altitude angles in both graphical and tabular format. This paper is a research based on the …
